What a blessing it would be if we could open and shut our ears... as easily as we open and shut our eyes (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
People who have read a good deal rarely make great discoveries. I do not say this in excuse of laziness, but because invention presupposes an extensive independent contemplation of things (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Pain warns us not to exert our limbs to the point of breaking them. How much knowledge would we not need to recognize this by the exercise of mere reason (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
What we have to discover for ourselves leaves behind in our mind a pathway that can be used on another occasion (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
What you have been obliged to discover by yourself leaves a path in your mind which you can use again when the need arises (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)

It is with epigrams as with other inventions; the best ones annoy us because we didn’t think of them ourselves (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
It is strange that only extraordinary men make the discoveries, which later appear so easy and simple (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Is it not strange that mankind should so willingly battle for religion and so unwillingly live according to its precepts (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
The excuses we make to ourselves when we want to do something are excellent material for soliloquies, for they are rarely made except when we are alone, and are very often made aloud (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
The girl who reveals herself heart and soul to her friend reveals the secrets of the entire sex; for every girl is the guardian of the feminine mysteries (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
It is in most cases more difficult to make intelligent people believe that you are what you are not, than really to become what you would appear to be (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Do not take too artificial a view of mankind but judge them from a natural standpoint, deeming them neither over good nor over bad (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
He who says he hates all kinds of flattery, and says so in earnest, has undoubtedly not as yet become acquainted with all kinds of it, whether in substance or in form (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Everyone who has ever written will have discovered that writing always awakens something which, though it lay within us, we failed clearly to recognize before (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
One use of dreams is that, unprejudiced by our often forced and artificial reflections, they represent the impartial outcome of our entire being (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
It is a dangerous thing for the perfecting of our minds to gain applause by works that do not call forth the whole of our energies; for in that case one generally comes to a standstill (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Man is perhaps half mind and half matter in the same way as the polyp is half plant and half animal. The strangest creatures are always found on the border lines of species (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
How happily some people would live if they troubled themselves as little about other people’s business as about their own (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
The world is a body common to all men, changes to it bring about a change in the souls of all men who are turned towards that part of it at that moment (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
